Tracker not works - unable to connect to tracker
-
Hi, it's been a few days since I was able to connect to the tracker, I have over 700 torrents seeding, very few are connecting to the tracker, I've checked my router and manually opened the port just to make sure, DNS is also fine, the linked website above also loads fine, I've tried redownloading a few of them and add them again but no luck.
-
@PojuLover I see you actively seeding 5 torrents. Those torrents do not have any leechers though, so it may be difficult for the current moment to get active upload traffic on them. Are you still having this issue? If so, what error message are you getting from the tracker?
The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage! -
@MrMazda Yes, as I mentioned, very few torrents are seeding, however I cannot download any new torrents either, there is no error message on my torrent client, it simply says "Updating..." under the Trackers Tab on every torrent I'm trying to seed and download.
-
@MrMazda Not wanting to be a bother, but the issue persists and I can't find a way to fix it, everthing works fine on my end, even downloading from other private trackers, it's just not working with this one, I've been unable to seed and download for quite a while now, thank you for your time.
-
@PojuLover The only thing that comes to mind is something to do with your queue settings. Perhaps there's a maximum number of active torrents setting that needs to be changed? I'm racking my brain trying to come up with an explanation.
-
@MrMazda Thanks for the reply, allowing more downloads to the queue has no effect, the status remains "Finding peers 0.0 %" and tracker remanis "updating..." , it's a shame, I don't mind waiting but I also can't find a way to fix it, it was working fine about a week ago or so.
-
@PojuLover Just out of curiosity, was there an update to BitTorrent before this happened?
-
@MrMazda In fact it updated two times since then, I'm using µTorrent 3.6 (build 46590), I went ahead and downgraded to 3.5.5 (build 46552), which actually works better and started seeding / downloading most of the torrents but it's still finicky, since I use µTorrent 2.2.1 exclusively for private anime trackers I decided to try on it, no surprises there, downloads and seeds perfectly and instantly, so this might answer everyone else's problem as well, using an older or different bittorrent client might be the best solution here.
Now if you don't mind me asking, which bittorrent client would you recommend? I took a look on reddit and it seems Tixati is the most popular amongst users recently, although I'm also posing myself the question as to how am I going to migrate 1461 torrents to another client.
Again, thank you for your reply and time. -

Thanks, I'll give this a try. Is there any trick to installing the older version on top of the newer one? Will it keep settings, and then delete the newer version? I don't want to lose everything while doing this.

@eobox91103 I am not sure if going all the way back to version 2.2.1 will keep all settings (including torrents, etc), I did downgrade to 3.5.5 (build 46552) by downloading it here: https://utorrent.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions installing it, upon starting µTorrent it asked me if I was sure I wanted to downgrade or keep using µTorrent 3.6 (build 46590) which I chose downgrade, it kept all settings and torrents.
Version 2.2.1 can be downloaded here: https://archive.org/details/utorrent_2.2.1_build_25302 , but be aware that I use it exclusively for a anime private tracker that specifically requires this version, it's very old and it's bound to have security issues and bugs, it works fine for me and is much faster connecting and starting downloads than version 3.5.5 (build 46552) but again, I wouldn't personally use it if not for the anime tracker requirement.
It took a while but 3.5.5 (build 46552) has now successfully connected every single torrent to the gaytorrent tracker successfully.
-
@PojuLover Thank you very much! I thought I was using 3.5.5, but now I see that it automatically installed 3.6, so I'll go back to 3.5.5.
-
@PojuLover Follow-up: That worked perfectly. I owe you a big favour
-
@eobox91103 No problem, glad it works out for you as well
